1. Change 0.015 to a fraction.

• A. 3/200
• B. 3/2000
• C. 15/1000
• D. 3/100

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.015 to a fraction, we can rewrite it as 15/1000. Simplifying this fraction, we get 3/200. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3/2000) is incorrect as the decimal 0.015 is equivalent to 15/1000, not 15/2000. Choice C (15/1000) is the initial form of 0.015 as a fraction, but it can be further simplified to 3/200. Choice D (3/100) is incorrect as it does not represent the decimal 0.015.

2. Multiply: 22 × 75 = and express the answer in decimal form.

• A. 0.00165
• B. 0.0165
• C. 0.165
• D. 16.5

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 16.5. To find the product of 22 and 75, you multiply the two numbers together. Therefore, 22 × 75 = 1650, which is correctly represented as 16.5 in decimal form. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct decimal form of the product of 22 and 75. Choice A, 0.00165, is incorrect as it is a very small value that does not match the result of multiplying 22 and 75. Choice B, 0.0165, is also incorrect as it is one tenth of the correct answer. Choice C, 0.165, is incorrect as it is one hundredth of the correct answer. Therefore, the only correct representation in decimal form for the product of 22 and 75 is 16.5.

3. How many grams of carbohydrates are in a product if it contains 4 servings, and each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates?

• A. 32 grams
• B. 28 grams
• C. 24 grams
• D. 20 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total grams of carbohydrates in the product, you multiply the number of servings by the grams of carbohydrates per serving. Given that each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates and there are 4 servings, the total would be 4 servings * 8 grams = 32 grams. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 32 grams. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total grams of carbohydrates based on the information provided.

4. Casey spent $80 on items where each item costs $4. How many items did Casey buy?

• A. 12
• B. 18
• C. 20
• D. 24

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of items Casey bought for $80, we divide the total amount spent ($80) by the cost per item ($4). The calculation gives us 20, indicating that Casey bought 20 items in total to reach the $80 expenditure ($80 ÷ $4 = 20). Therefore, the correct answer is C, 20. Choices A (12), B (18), and D (24) are incorrect because they do not align with the correct division calculation based on the information provided.

5. Divide and simplify: 4⅛ ÷ 1½ =

• A. 4½
• B. 4¼
• C. 2¾
• D. 2¼

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, we first convert them to improper fractions. Converting 4⅛ to an improper fraction gives us 33/8, and converting 1½ gives us 3/2. Dividing 33/8 by 3/2, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. This gives us (33/8) / (3/2) = (33/8) * (2/3) = 66/24 = 11/4, which simplifies to 2¾. Therefore, the correct answer is 2¾. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing 4⅛ by 1½.
